Things Ain't What They Used To Be Lyrics

Got so weary of bein' nothin'

 

Felt so dreary just doin' nothin'

 

Didn't care ever gettin' nothin' felt so low

 

Now my eyes on the far horizon can see a glow

 

Announcin' things ain't what they used to be

 

No use bein' a doubtin'

 

Thomas No ignorin' that rosy promise

 

Now I know there's a happy story yet to come

 

It's the dawn of a day of glory millennium

 

 

I tell you things ain't what they used to be
